Code I can understand, data a bit less. I'm just thinking that no MySQL program which has already been written is going to have any reliance on the performance characteristics of this flash-based database system, since it wasn't a thing when they were written.

If you could change the shape of your tables to suit this approach, then surely you could adopt Postgres.
